 Why is strike trying to charge me nearly 50k sats as a mining fee? 
 maybe you pay the whole block
😂  
 That’s crazy high right? 
 yes to much, should be 1k 
 Yeah, and I’m not even trying to send that much 
 use boltz.exchange 
 Change to low time priority (should be free) if you're not in a rush.  Immediate next block transactions are hard to price and are expensive.  I have always just used the free option. 
 Here is what mine looks like at the moment https://image.nostr.build/698a43270eeff3540f6f376c9ec24dec958420f603f77efba063adf39f7da6de.jpg  
 How much is that for? 
 .001 Freedom units.

Never considered they may change it with transaction value. 
 Freedom units? GTFOHWTBS That's some pandering marketing bullshit. I would cancel that shit immediately. Anyone who would charge all the money can't be trusted.  
 You're misinterpreting this convo.  For next block confirm they charge -1000sats ~1%.  Batch transaction is free.  .001 would be the amount sent.  FREEDOM UNITS FTW 
 Batch transactions are always the cheapest (that's how they offer them for free).  Should be an industry standard. 
 See, this is yet another reason why I don't like Strike. There's no justification for charging this much. If you were opening your own channel it wouldn't cost more than 10k sats. And you don't get your own channel with Strike. So WTF are they charging all this money for? The privilege of using their custodial wallet. Fuck that. Use Minibits. It's free, and it offers more features.
